Welfare And Its Major Problems

The reason welfare is a bad idea.

Get a job, thats what I say to people who live on welfare, besides elderly and handicapped people. What is America going to come to if people always have to live on welfare. In case you did not know, welfare is economics concerned with better living. the branch of economics that is concerned with improving the quality of life by a fairer distribution of wealth.

Although welfare is not a very fair distribution because those who work have to pay for those who don't. Does that sound fair? Basically this means that you pay welfare taxes and people who dont have a job get it. This means that if someone dosn't feel like getting a job, tax payers like you pay for his living. That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard of. I think that if you do not work you should not eat. But some people do not think so, like the government.

Eventually this is going to cause economic problems. And should be addressed immediately. There are many taxes such as these and more of them are coming. I believe America is on a downfall and needs to be picked back up. It is terrible how high taxes are getting. There are many job opportunities for people to get jobs.

But like I said, they are just too lazy, or are not motivated enough. And I am not talking about handicapped or elder people either. But it is getting harder to get jobs in America because of immigrants. America is hiring immigrants over American citizens. This is because most immigrants work for cheaper than citizens. This is going to destroy American economy.

This is seriously the worst argument i have every come across. "But like I said, they are just too lazy" What evidence do you have to prove this? "Eventually this is going to cause economic problems" Really? Like what? Give me one example. Welfare has been around for quite some time. Let me know when we hit that magical line that will spell economic doom. Even if I agreed with your stance I couldn't make sense of your little blurb here.

I agree that there are some problems with the current welfare system. It's a great program for people whom truly need it. The problem lies with the individuals whom abuse it.
#8 by Cara Boynton, Feb 25, 2008
Yes, there is a problem, not all people who need it are lazy, or elderly or disabled. There are people who work, some have more than one job, but they just can't make ends meet. Then, there are some who just flat out abuse the system. We must determine who needs it and who doesn't. Just because someone is disabled doesn't mean they get welfare. Disability and welfare are two entirely differnt things.

this article is aimed to those who abuse welfare

HAHAH welfare abuse takes me right back to the time when my cousins started abusing welfare benefits just because they didn't feel like getting a job. They just wanted to sit around doing nothing with their lives... good times busting on my cousins

I agree with your point. I mean... there may be a shortage of jobs, but if you really wanted to a job to make some money you would work at a McDonalds or something instead of just moping around and living off welfare. Also, if we keep shilling out money to everyone who doesn't have a job our economy (like you said) is going to go downhill. Just look at the Roman Empire and how it feel.. you make a logical argument!

don't forget about the people who have hiddin disabilities such as autism or aspergers. also if we want more fully functioning adults maybe the government should stop poisining our food, water, & vaccines to make us sick duh. wake up everyone.usa is a fu*ked up place to be.

Welfare can have devasting effects on the ecomony. Notice how I used the word \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"! Our ecomony works when those who get the transfer payments put the funds back into the ecomony. Those who spend the money on drugs and things such as that really screws our ecomony. There are people who truly need the income however, there are those who really abuse the system.

Didn\'t it cross your mind that a lot of the people on welfare would absolutely love to be able to work? Guess what, there aren\'t any jobs to be had. I\'m a college student, and I took this summer off to work and save some money. Guess what? No jobs. Even at McDonald\'s, which in my opinion is a last resort kind of job, there are no employment opportunities. I\'m really starting to wonder if I\'m going to be able to use my degree when I finish college at all.
And heres a little food for thought: you\'d probably have to pay equivalent taxes whether America had a welfare program or not.

Jake,
Your points are well stated. I have a four yr old handicapped child ( can not walk, talk, or even hold her own head up) and I can verify that the majority of handicapped individuals are not getting SSI, much less welfare. I stay home with her 24/7 and my husband only makes 30k a yr, but we don’t qualify for any of the entitlement programs except a hundred dollar SSI check and Medicaid. WHY???…..because of the people that are not handicapped abusing the system. My child cant chew or swallow anything but pureed foods. It takes 300.00 a month just for her pureed baby food. I get so mad when I see some mama with 5 or 6 perfectly healthy kids and she is perfectly healthy, but she is paying with food stamps. If you cant afford to have 5 kids keep your legs closed or use contraception! Why should those truly unable to help themselves and have disablities that are beyond their control do without, while some ho lays on her back , refuses to work, or refuses to only have what she can afford? Thank you Jake for making this argument and opening a forum. We need to all become advocates for those need assistance for reasons beyond their control by ensuring those that those faking, refusing to work, choosing to cont. to have more than they can support, etc… are THROWN OFF THE SYSTEM!

You mean to tell me that the classifieds in your city was completely empty, the employment service office didnt have any jobs to offer, etc.. I think not. Even in the bo hick town that I live, there are jobs. All may not be what you WANT to do, but it is a pay check. Yes, you would still have to pay taxes, but the point is that the tax money could be given to those truely in need and thus spent on basic needs...instead of drugs, ethol, etc. Which would stimulate the economy....instead of further draining it. Also, those that are handicapped, elderly, and indigent could get the help....instead of the ho bag 6 baby mamas, drug heads, and lazy scum bags.

Welfare is EVIL, this is true, however, i do not fault all the people that are taking advantage of the food stamps and SSI, because the goverment is perfectly happy to allow it to happen. The fact that people that deserver the service to not get it is ALARMING and TERRIBLE. To solve the problem the goverment has to intervene and say, listen, we cannot help you anymore, because you can and should be helping yourself.
